MONTGOMERY POLITICS Effect of State Nominations on the Oounty Ticket. Rutherford Not Popular in His Own County—Looking Up a Record. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., Septemter 18.—The campaign in this county is just be- ginning to warm up and show some signs of life. It cannot, however, be said to be enimated even yet. The republican county ccmmittee meets here this afternvon to consider registration, and a number of the candidates on the county ticket are here also talking over the situation. Conserva- tive republicans consider they have some chance of electing a portion of their coun- ty ticket this fall, although the general be- lief is expressed that a heavy weight was tied around the neck of the party when Mr. Allan Rutherford was put on the state ticket. The gentleman is a resident of Montgcmery county, and while he has many stanch followers, and while he has many with an equal number of bitter opponents in his own party. The expectation is that his record will be attacked earnestly by the cemocrats, and his opponents suggest that it is not strong enough to stand the strain. An article in the Baltimore Sun this morn- ing is exciting wide comment here. It speaks of the many inquiries being made at the Treasury Department for the record of Allan Rutherford and then say: “He was for nearly eight years third au- ditor of the Treasury Department under General Grant. Early in September, 1875, he was sent as a special commissioner to Great Britain on business connected with the Treasury De, ‘tment, returning the following December. During his absence Secretary Bristow appointed a commission Mureaye De to investigate the workings of the third . theme, “T! auditor's office, and this commission re- le of Life? Epworth 1 ported that some fault should be found in the method by which claims submitted through the quartermaster of the army had been passed. General Rutherford. on hearing of the investigation, instituted in his absence and of the report, which re- flected on him, sent in his resignation early in December, and it was accepted in Janu- ary, 1876." The Sun s: that Gen. Grant after this indorsed Rutherford as ‘honest, capable and thful."” The article then continucs: The Matter of Political Assessments. “It is asserted by those who are looking into Mr. Rutherford's record that when in government office he collected political as- sessments from other office holders, and there was some irregularity in his manner of handing over the same. Also that when practicing as a pension attorney in this city he secured important official informa- tion through dcubtful means. These charges, or some of them, were said to Le of a vague character, and were denied by Mr. Rutherford, and, one of his friends said today, had certainly never been proven.” All of this talk is highly delightful to the democrats in Montgemer for a hard fight in the cou ing to the republican county rept eputy r of t ord in nomination a In bis speech he said that if his man was nominated he pledged Montgom- y for the repudlican coi rt of talk is mere bosh, an@ on th Rutherferd’s and Grosy ack on the administration’ who had iooked ce to carry th fore Rutherford was nomin anything could kil nation has. zd next Sunday.

The second successful test of a horseless carriage over the streets of the capital city was made this morring at 10 o'clock under the supervision of Inspector of Hacks Goff and Detective E. F. Rhodes of the po- lice department. he carriage is the property of Elmer Vance of New York city, imported by him from Paris, and is one of the latest automobile inventions. It is run b: naphtha and weighs about 400 pounds. The start was made from the Baltimore and Ohio depot, the carriage being taken from Mr. Vance's private car stationed there. The carriage is very low and has seats for two persons, one behind the other. It is really a trieyele, the operator sitting behind, and manipulating the machine from his seat. Inspector Groff tock the front seat, Mr. Vance operating the automobile. Detective Rhodes followed behind in his carriage. The two officers were present to see that horses were not frightened by the novel addition to the vehicle tine. The experiment was successful in every particular, no animals being frightened by the appearance of the automobile, the horse which Detective Rhodes was driving al- lowing itself to be driven directly up to it while it was in motion and not expressing the slightest concern. Only a fair rate of speed was attempted at first, to see how the horses would receive it, but when it was found they were not in the least frightened Mr. Vance turned on more power and the carriage powled along over the smooth asphalt at a good rate of specd. Under favorable circumstances 28 much as eighteen miles an hour can be attained. The carriage attracted great at- tention as it moved along. — If You Want the Most 2.00 for your money, take the Pennsylvania railroad to Atlantic City next Saturday und Sunday and avoid all transfers.

Objections to an Inspector—Featuren of the Affair—South Washiag- ton'’s Position, There are new complications in the ®ar- bage situation regarding the out of town destruction scheme, and the new contracts are still waiting at the District building for the signature of the contractor, The latter is aware of the fact that the new contract is ready. But he is not ready to sign it. There are several provisions i s sions in it he not agree to, and sa. film es ‘ys plainly he will n sign unless they are stricken’ out. ane of these provisions stipulates the appointment of an inspector who shall accompany gar- bage down the river and sec to it that it is properly disposed of. The contractor says it is none of the District's business what becomes of the garbage after it is taken out of the limits of the D:striet. If he creates a nuisance in the state of Mar land, where he is going to erect his re- duction plant, it is the state's business to correct it, and the District has absolutely no interest in it. This is the greatest ob- struction, the one big difference between the authorities and contractor. The Features. The features of the new contract have heretofore been referred to in The Star. It provides briefly for the transportation of the garbage of the city down the river in sealed metallic tanks, the garbage not to be dumped upon the wharf and not otherwise exposed. It is understood the contractor enters another objection right here to this feature of the new contract. He is willing to provide the sealed metallic tanks, but things he should have the right to land them at the wharf designated. Otherwise the expenditure necessary for equipment will be so great as to practically preclude the possibility of the new system. It is provided in the contract that when the transportation down the river is not poss‘. ble because of the freezing condition of the river that the garbage is to be disposed of at the Brown crematory at t! South Capitol street. ey eee South Washington. The South Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion has something to Say about this, as it has in the past. Several days ago the secretary of the association learning of the new contract which was about to be ee received permission from the Com- missioners to examine the document. This was granted, and at the next meeting of the association he laid before it the new contract. Several days ago he sent his reply, which is given herewith “Thanking you for the information con- tained in your letter to me in connection with the garbage service, we are surprised, to say the least, that, after so many pro- tests being filed against our section of the city being used as a dumping round, you have specified in that new or amended contract that the garbage shall be shipped from the foot of South Capitol street, and also that the Brown crematory is still to remain in active service. We appeal to you to do something for our relief. Do not give us a stone when we ask for bread. This is a ah te question that should not reece oat siving it a more search- investigatioa.
